After 500,000 miles of ground travel to over 1,500 cities, I'd like to share a few of my favorite spots, restaurants, and road trips.

Metallica History: Tommy’s Joynt – San Francisco, California

This is a sacred place for Metallica fans. Tommy’s Joynt is the famed bar where Metallica asked former bassist Jason Newsted to join the band. Great Americana fare, a pile of steaming pot roast, and endless free dill pickle slices, make this place a must visit on any trip to The Bay Area.
